From 60a94a39d95602f945f976609712da6be9092280 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luca Ceresoli Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2017 22:59:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs/manual: centralize recommendations about BR2_DL_DIR We currently have two places where we recommend where BR2_DL_DIR should be set: "Environment variables" and "Location of downloaded packages". The former recommends setting BR2_DL_DIR in the .config, the latter kind of endorses using ~/.bashrc. We prefer suggesting the ~/.bashrc way since it avoids downloading the same file multiple times, and anyway it's wise to have all the details in a unique place. So remove the .config suggestion from "Environment variables" and let it just point to "Location of downloaded packages". Cc: "Yann E.
